A recent report by the Associated Press has upset the Hillary Clinton campaign.

The report, which was released earlier this week, found that during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, “at least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs.”

Those 85 donors, the AP found, contributed more than $150 million to the Clinton Foundation.

According to Yahoo News, Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement on Tuesday that the AP “cherrypicked” which data to report on in order to paint a “distorted” picture about the Clinton Foundation’s donors.

“It cherry-picked a limited subset of Secretary Clinton’s schedule to give a distorted portrayal of how often she crossed paths with individuals connected to charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation,” Fallon said. “The data does not account for more than half of her tenure as Secretary.”

He added, “And it omits more than 1,700 meetings she took with world leaders, let alone countless others she took with other U.S government officials, while serving as secretary of state. Just taking the subset of meetings arbitrarily selected by the AP, it is outrageous to misrepresent Secretary Clinton’s basis for meeting with these individuals.”

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook added in an interview with MSNBC’s Morning Joe Wednesday that what the AP did was “pretty outrageous.”

“She was secretary of state. She was meeting with foreign officials and government officials constantly,” Mook said. “So to pull all of them out of the equation, cherry-pick a handful of meetings, is pretty outrageous.”

Mook also pointed out that several of the donors Clinton met with were experts in their field such as Nobel Prize-winning economist Muhammad Yunus and public health philanthropist Melinda Gates.

“That makes perfect sense for her to meet with [them],” Mook said. “At every juncture, the foundation set up the highest possible standards to prevent any conflict of interest, and the State Department itself has said there’s no conflict of interest.”

Republican nominee Donald Trump has already seized on the report to point out what he believes are the corrupt connections between Clinton, the state department and the Clinton Foundation.

“It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins,” Trump said Tuesday, according to Yahoo News. “It is now abundantly clear that the Clintons set up a business to profit from public office.”
